DeNean Stafford, Waycross, was

tional commercial fraternity, at a
meeting Tuesday night in the Com
merce-Journalism building. Wesley
Martin, Atlanta, was elected vice-
president. Other officers include
Marion Reeder, Atlanta, treasurer,
and Johnny Northcutt, Marietta,
secretary.
Stafford succeeds Joe Costa, Ath
ens, as head of the organization.
The new president is a member of
the Sigma Chi social fraternity, a
Pan-Hellenic council representative.
Pelican club, Glee club, and Thalian-
Blackfriars. He is a sophomore in
the Commerce school. •
G. G. Walker, Conyers, and
George Peeler, Athens, were initiated

Walker is a junior ini the Commerce

Delta Sigma Pi. also announces
the pledging of W.~"X. Abercrombie,
Athens; James Montgomery, War-
renton, and Robert Jefferson, Al
bany.
Asa Candler, Atlauta, and Mad-
tt». , me retiring presiuem, ivaiuci iuo i json Byrd, Decatur, will go to Ma
vited to give a concert at ti n ” Rogers, Demorest. Following this, con Saturday to debate a freshman

i wo skits from current New York isponse of the new president to the the negative side of the question,
musical comedies will be features of former
the show. One, from “The Band
wagon,” is composed of a brilliant
satire on the overemphasis on inter
collegiate athletics. The second has
been adapted by the boys from
"Strike Me Pink”—at present rated
the most popular hit on Broadway
—which on the Great Whiteway fea
tures Beatrice Lilly and Jimmy Du
rante.
The sensation of the show is a
boys’ ballet, led by Charlie Sheldon,
Atlanta. These agile creatures are
bedecked in costumes that make
follies’ girls envious because of their
daringness and scantiness. Their
winsome smiles, figures, and lithe
movements should make Florenz
Zeigfield rise from his grave. The
boys have been in training for
months and their act, it is believed,
will prove the hit of the four.
Miss Hulda Cail, Sylvania a Uni
versity co-ed, will give a classical
interpretation of the dance. Miss
Cail is a pupil of Miss Louise Marsh
of New York and her dancing has
received favorable comment from
stage and dancing experts. Her cos
tumes and accomplished grace cre
ate a charming impression wherever
she appears.
An added attraction will be feats
of magic by Madison Byrd, Decatur,
a former student of the late Master
of the Hidden Art, Harry Houdini.
He will act on the stage, assisted by
Miss Cail, at the night performances,
and in the afternoons will, blindfold
ed by five Impartial persons, drive
a new automobile through the streets
of the cities visited by the club.
In addition to these novelties, fea
tures, and specialties, there will be
the usual choruses by the 40 boys in
which all new songs—popular and
classical—and the old favorites will
be sung. It is a well-balanced pro
duction, far different from the usual
college glee club performances, and
should reflect credit on the Univer
sity.
Six toasts were given during the
dinner, carrying out the idea of a
tree, symbolic of the Chi Omega fra
ternity. The toast to the roots, or
the founders, was given by Louise
Holst, Cuth-.ert; the one to the
trunk, or the ideals of the frater
nity, was given by Elizabeth Camp,
Atlanta; the one to the branches, the
chapters, by MaNlta Bullock, Ath
ens; the one to the leaves, repre
sentative of the of the chapters, by
Hart Smith, Athens; the one to the
buds, or pledges, was given by Mary
Stark Davison, Athens, and the one
to the fruit, or the alumnae, by Eta
Mac May, Montezuma. Another
toast, in honor of the patronesses,
was given by Jeannie Gulley, Sylves
ter.
The decorations carried out the
colors of the fraternity, cardinal and
straw. The table was in the shape
of a square and the flowers and can
dles carried out the color scheme.
Bill Lawrence, Atlanta; Oscar Rob
erts, Carrollton; Andrew Scott, Mil
ledgeville; Teddy Cooper, Atlanta,
and Frank Greer, Buford, will at
tend the Tri Delta sorority house-
party at Brenau college in Gaines
ville next week.
